About Us
At Positive Gun Dogs MN, we believe training should be fun, rewarding, and effective—without force or intimidation. We specialize in gun dogs, sporting breeds, shed hunting dogs, and Forage and Field Dogs (morel mushroom hunters), helping them tap into their natural instincts in a way that works for you.
We don’t take dogs in for training—instead, we train YOU to train your dog. Whether you hunt or just want to give your sporting breed a fulfilling job, we help you turn their natural drive into a skill they love using.
Why We're Different
Forget outdated methods like force-fetch and e-collars—that’s not our style.
✅ We don’t take dogs for training—we work one-on-one with you and your dog.
✅ We use reward-based methods that make training enjoyable.
✅ We help both hunters and non-hunters engage their sporting breed.
✅ We work with clients locally and nationwide! Whether you're in Minnesota or out of state, we offer
customized virtual and in-person coaching to help you train your dog using positive reinforcement techniques.
✅ Our goal? A confident, reliable dog who WANTS to work with you!
Whether your dog is tracking, retrieving, or scenting, training should be something they enjoy--not something forced on them.
Gun Dog & Sporting Breed Training
Sporting breeds were born to work, but many don’t get the chance to do what they were bred for.
That’s where we come in.
🐾 For hunters → We fine-tune retrieving, scenting, and steadiness for a focused and reliable hunting partner.
🐾 For non-hunters → We give your dog a fun and fulfilling outlet that taps into their natural abilities—so they’re engaged, not bored or destructive.
✔ Your Lab may not retrieve ducks, but they still need a job!
✔ Training builds confidence, focus, and better behavior at home.
✔ Your dog gets to do what they love—without outdated training techniques.
A well-trained dog isn’t just better in the field—they’re happier at home, too!
